Unbeknownst to many, YouTuber turned boxer KSI has a younger brother. Deji Olatunji also known as ‘ComedyShortsGamer’ is a YouTuber with 12.2 million subscribers, to whom KSI had offered a chance to win $1 million if he could achieve six-pack abs in a year. However, despite fans voting for Deji, KSI refused to give his brother the seven-figure payday he was promised.
The origins of the bet date back to November 2023. During a podcast with the other members of the Sidemen, KSI mocked Deji about his fitness levels.
While some of the Sidemen members were doubtful, Behzinga was confident that Deji would get the abs since there was real money on the line.

However, on 1st July, Deji joined a live stream hosted by his brother. At first, with his back against the camera, KSI asked Deji to take off his t-shirt and show him the results.
Once that was done he asked Deji to turn around and show it to the fans attending the live stream.

After debating over it for a while, KSI decided to host a poll where fans could vote if Deji had a six pack or not, which he lost as 51% of fans voted in favor of the younger sibling.
However, KSI rejected the results and refused to pay his brother since he did not feel he achieved the task successfully.
While the fun continues, KSI has a bigger reason to get fit in the next couple of weeks where the stakes will be a lot more than $1 million.

This comes after his first professional loss last year to Tommy Fury, following which the YouTuber had stated that he was done with the sport.
However, it appears as though KSI is getting back into the grove of things and working his way up to a Jake Paul fight eventually.
